Grants Open in NAIDOC Week

July 9, 2018

During 2018 NAIDOC Week celebrations, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander groups throughout Queensland are being encouraged to apply for a share of $500,000 in State funding.

Environment Minister Leeanne Enoch has opened applications for the 2018-19 Looking after Country Grants Program – the funding made available to support the crucial work carried out to protect local environment and cultural resources.

“A significant element of NAIDOC Week is the recognition of custodianship responsibilities and the connection of Traditional Owners and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities to land and sea.”

“The Looking after Country Grants Program not only acknowledges this connection but assists Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander groups to continue with, and potentially expand, the tireless work they do to conserve Country.”

The Looking after Country Grants Program supports on-the-ground projects that conserve the environment and cultural resources on Country, with grants of up to $75,000 per project available to successful applicants.

Projects funded under the grant program have included cultural site and habitat restoration, feral animal and weed control, cultural heritage recording and marine turtle monitoring activities.

Applications close Friday 10 August 2018 at 5pm.
